The japanese article costs thirty-hv Mexi-

above that, the appraiser has advanced them

Applause from the Usher.

There may be some who don't know that
ushers sometimes have other duties besides
that Of showing people TO their seats
To such 1 would solennly declare this 60 be
the truth. One OF these duties is to sis in tho
audience, after the people have all been
seated, and applaud judiciously. You have
no idea how effective one man may be in
starting the applause at the proper moment
l assure you many an encore is produced in
this way. Tho usher alluded to as undergo

credit be it said, he worked heroicallv.
Whenever there was a ghost of show he

them on 10 victory. But between whites he
leaned his head YEARLY on his hand and

: AN INTERRUPTED LUNCH. :
A Collar Button Boy Gets Els Ears Cuded
and y Five Dollar Gold Piece.


and a Five Dollar Gold Piece.
At an early hour the other afternoon, q
we'll known member Of the bar strolied into
p prominent resort and ordered lunch. He
examined the bill Of fare and selected few
of the choicest articles. In order to get bis
sppetite TO the right tension he first drank an
absinthe frame, then lie ate e delicate salad,
and TONED of with nibbling at an olive. In
the meantime his interest was aroused by
watching the skillful cook manipulate the
various articles intended for his lunch. Some
friends came IL and asked the lawyer TO Join
them in 2 social round but be declined. All
his thoughts were centered upon thick and
rare steak that was just ready. Another
friend came in and with a breezy air wanted
the lawyer to join him in arranging for y
boom in Milpitas real estate.
Tie hungry man steadily declined to do
ANYTHING until his lunch was eaten. He
savagely affirmed that so long as the stomach
was empty he would not discuss bOoms,
stocks or baseball, while for Milpitas be did
not care rap. By this time the meal was
ready and deftly placed before the hungry
lawyer He spread some mustard on the
iuiciest piece OF the steak and severed just
bit TO enjoy its fragrant aroma. Before the
bonnie bouche reached his mouth q small boy
touched bis arm and said, briskly: Don't
YOU want 70 buy some collar buttons" The
LAWYER put down his fork, and, 9lowering at
the intruder said, firmly: NO, / don't want
anvthingm With a savage prod the steak
was again impaled, and again passed toward
his mouth. The hungry mans teeth did not
get q fairly good hold when the same small
boy renewed the attack, and this time lie
offered the lawyer his whole tray from which
to select baubie.
This interruption was the last straw that
broke the self control OF the tried and hungry
lawyer He gulped down the bit of steak,
and, with sudden blow, he cuffed the boys
ears, and knocked the tray TO the floor. The
boy did not object, but stopped to gather up
his wares, that were scattered about the tiled
floor. Before they were half restored he
burst into tears, but be tried hard 30 make no
noise. The lawyer went on with his meal as
If nothing had taken place. But suddenly
CHANGING at the boy he noticed his AFFECT con"
dition, and caught the echo Of faint sob.
This was too much for the man. His better
nature instantly asserted itself, and leaving
his seat, he went TO the boy and took his
hand. Sonny, did wrong, and beg your
pardon Here, take this and leave rae alone"
Was his quick response. The boys face
frightened, and bis little hand grasped a five
dollar gold piece that was left by the lawyer.

with which he amused himself many an
hour by his experiments. But SO busy q life
was not destined to be prolonged in quiet
ness. He had been settled but short time
when his life light went out on Saturday,

Three days later, now nearly hundred
years ago, his remains were conveyed to
the old Friends burying ground and placed
beside those of his wife and the thin stone
slab laid over them.
There was mourning throughout this
and other lands. Twenty thousand people
crowded the streets around that old bury

About TIE Forests.

The American Forestry Congress Is
advertised to meet this year at Spring
field, ILL., The time fixed is Septem-
Der IA to 16. The circular announc-
ing the meeting, says. 'We claim
that the present reported forest area
of the country(ess than 100000, 900
acres) cannot, in its present condition
and under present methods of utiliza-
ton, furnish continuous supply Of
wood of all kinds, even at our present
population of 100000 the annual
consumption being over twenty bill
lion cubic feet; that the supply of
building material, if slaughtered in
the same manner as heretofore, with
out regard to recupsration, will be
practically exhausted before any new
crop now started can be ready for use;
that our supplies will be inferior in
quality, and inferior in amount per
acre, If left to natures methods of re-
forestation after the forcible interfer-
ence by man. while an increased pop
ulation will make larger demands on
these resources; that in spite of the
employment of substitutes, the con-
sumption of wood is increasing with
the increase of population all overthe
world. (In Germany the consumption
Of coal has increased 265 per cent.
within twenty-four years, and yet the
wood consumption has increased in a
similar ratio) We claim, that consid-
cred merely as regards material sup
ply, the question of forest preserva-
ton has reached stage where the
earn est attention of the economist is
called for.
